Postgraduate study is a blue-chip investment in your future. 

Many people find their earning potential significantly increases after they graduate with further qualifications. The Graduate Careers Australia website, Gradsonline, lists the median salaries for a range of postgraduate and undergraduate qualifications. Visit the website to get an indication of what you could be earning with another qualification.

Many employers also recognise the importance of their employees gaining further qualifications. Some will offer financial support while others will look at increasing flexibility around work hours or provide time off to study. It can't hurt to ask!  Furthermore, you may even find your program fees are tax deductible.

Many UniSA postgraduate programs are Commonwealth supported and others are fee paying programs. Commonwealth supported students pay a student contribution fee which can be deferred using HECS-HELP. Fee paying students can choose to defer their tuition fees using FEE-HELP.

The type of fee applicable to your program of interest can be found on every program information page. 

Scholarships are offered to high achieving students and those in need. Some scholarships are offered to all disciplines and others relate to a specific career, program or UniSA Division. Why not take a look!
